PharmaSGP expects to see clear double-digit revenue and profit growth in 2022

Gräfelfing, 25 April 2022 - After another record year, German pharmaceutical company PharmaSGP is targeting revenues of between 78 and 82 million euro for financial year 2022, up from 65.3 million euro in the year before, equating to planned growth of at least 19.5%. PharmaSGP also expects to see a marked increase in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (adjusted EBITDA). The company is targeting a margin of 30 to 33% based on revenues, representing an adjusted EBITDA range of between 23.4 and 27.1 million euro.

"With our international product portfolio of leading brands and pharmaceuticals suitable for chronic indications, including the areas of pain and sleep disorders, we are very well positioned in the health market," said a confident CEO Nathalie Weigand. "In my opinion the pharmaceutical industry and in particular the market for non-prescription drugs - for which there is no price maintenance - will this year once again profit from increasing demographic change and the accompanying growth in demand," Weigand continued.

CFO Michael Rudolf also pointed to the further planned increase in the adjusted EBITDA margin: "We have established a business model with low fixed costs which has proven to be successfully transferable to other target markets. We are focused on our core competencies and have outsourced the entire manufacturing and logistics process. This enables us to remain highly disciplined on the cost side despite the substantial planned growth in sales, so we can pin the adjusted EBITDA margin within a sustainable range above 30%," Rudolf said.

Further possible acquisitions are not included in the forecast. Natalie Weigand commented: "PharmaSGP meanwhile has an easily scalable pan-European platform with established structures which make it possible to integrate new brands successfully and without complications. The integration of the GSK portfolio shows that by making targeted acquisitions, we can create substantial value for our investors in a timely manner. Further take-overs will therefore remain a key component of our strategy in future."
